He's fighting iron chinned fighters up in there, Miranda/Abraham/Kessler/Froch. Those guys don't get stopped.. How can you even compare. Let's see GGG knock guys of that quality out b4 we make comparisons.
Can't make that assumption Many trainers/boxers say the jump from 160>168 is the biggest one in boxing. You can ask around. Abraham's power didn't carry over. He was a very good puncher at 60. At 68, he wasn't a powder puff puncher but he was very average.
You saw Edwin Rodriguez went down twice in his last fight, right? And Miranda was stopped by every top level fighter he fought except Ward.
I'd like to think it was Ward that caused the diminish in his punch resistance. Yeah I did see the fight, one of the best ever. I got banned actually because I posted a vid of it. Kinda bs cuz everyone else does the same thing. But yeah. Did you also forget that it was a fight at LHW? He moved up for this one (2nd fight there if I remember correctly). Perhaps he did not adjust that well to that weight yet. So let's keep that into perspective Miranda was actually revitalized if you watched the pre fight. He got a lot of his confidence back. And was hurt a good # of times by Ward.
By big I mean the hardest. You know what I mean? To have your previous attributes successfully carry over. Lolz
You can say that about any weight class to be honest. It's never easy transferring your skills to a new weight class.
That is true, but I'm just telling you what trainers have said. 160>168 is the hardest one. I don't know too much about it. I'm not a boxer, I'm just retelling their tale.
Let's see former Olympic Gold Medalsist Super 6 winner Cameo in Creed Yeah I think he's alright with exposure ..Triple Tune up couldn't even pull over 200 k in his PPV but he's supposed to be the next big thing ..Ward is alright when it comes to exposure .
